Solar Irradiance has stopped working

My Dess worked fine until last week. I haven’t made any adjustments, but for the past week, I have no longer current solar irradiance data in the advanced view. Now, a week later, the solar irradiance forecast has also stopped working. In advanced, it now shows “No data to display” (Dutch: “geen gegevens voor weergave”). As a result, the forecast no longer shows any solar energy either, and my Dess is no longer functioning properly.

I have a Multiplus II 6k5 and a VM-3p75CT grid meter, a JK-BMS battery monitor, and I have 3 APSystems micro-inverters which data I read with an Eastron SDM120M kWh meter, which is configured as a PV meter via Modbus and connected to the Multiplus II via the original Victron RS485 to USB cable. This worked fine for some months. I still see live PV values ​​on the VRM Dashboard on the AC In side of the inverter.

This morning I’ve checked several settings → Location which was set and correct, but saved it again, same for Geofence. Installed is Venus OS Large v3.75. Checked actual date and time setting and rebooted the system but the solar forecast is still not available.

As you can see in the picture the blue line (Solar Irradiance) stopped on August 9th and the yellow line (Forecast) stopped on August 16th (Yesterday).

Any Idea how to get this working again?

I’ve managed to solve it myself after receiving some information from Victron.

My PV energy meter was only transmitting the current power being generated by the solar panels, and not the total energy generated as an “energy counter”.

“A few months ago vrm has included a rule to only give a solar forecast to vrm systems that have pv energy counter somewhere in the system.”

I modified the Python script, and it now also reads the total amount of energy generated via Modbus. Shortly afterwards, the solar energy forecast was available again.
